As a Colorado native, I know our winters are beautiful, but unfortunately for our skin, it isn’t always the most wonderful time of the year. The change of season brings dry, itchy, dehydrated skin, but lucky for you—there are ways to beat it!
I have seen my fair share of dry skin in my thirteen years as a professional Aesthetician. At Clove Studios I offer Hydrodermabrasion, which combines deep exfolitation while infusing the skin with hydrating serums leaving the skin with a healthy glow. Based on my client’s needs, I am working on developing a Colorado-based line—Clove Apothecary skin care, two products are in the final testing phase now. They will be available at Clove Studios soon.

I like to refer to the transition from fall into winter as “peel season”. If you love facial treatments, now is the time to indulge your skin with a deep peel or Microdermabrasion. Schedule these deeper treatments in the winter months to help restore your skin’s beautiful glow. Elevation Med Spa in Lone Tree offers a variety of medical grade services such as chemical peels, Dermaplaning and Microneedling. Request a consultation to get the skin you deserve!
